KILTIMARDO PLANET Editor Mitchell Travels. Colored Express Agent—The Great Religious Play—He Speaks Twice in New Haven—Harry K. Thaw's Wife. I had expected to have visited the offices of the Advocate in Cambridge and the Boston Reliance, but being a stranger and not familiar with the streets of the great city, coupled with my close attendance of the sessions of the American Bankers Association I found that the week had passed and I was nearing the time of leaving for Virginia. However, I decided to visit Reedville, where resided Mr. John Jones, the brother of the friend of my school-days, Mr. Robert D. Jones, now in San Antonio, Texas. A COLORED EXPRESS AGENT. I left Back Bay station shortly after 3 o'clock for the trip of about ten miles. I was met at the station and found that Mr. John Jones held a position of responsibility and had won the absolute confidence of his employers. He is express agent and assistant ticket agent in this northern village. I had never heard of a colored man holding a similar position in this section of the country. He showed me documents from William Prescott Welcott, son of ex-Governor Wolcott giving him (Jones) power of attorney to sign live stock contracts required by the express company. LEADER OF WHITE CHORUS. When Mr. John Jonce lost his wife, he received letters of condolence from my white friends and the white church was closed out of respect to the family. He was leader of the Blue Hill Chapel Sunday School chorus, a white organization and he was commended in the Hyde Park Gazette for his successful management of the Easter Canina. I visited his home and found a family of Jones, all musicians. I had only about an hour and a half to stay for I was due in Boston by 6 o'clock, but I sat in rapt meditation as the father sang his pieces, religious melodies and later hurried to the station to attend to his duties. --- A FAMILY OF SONGSTERS. Then the young ones "got busy" and "rag time" and love songs waited out upon the evening air. The family names are Marta, Eugene Zemoria, Albion, Edwin, Laurn, Lotlie, John and Pauline. It was a recreation that I enjoyed and regretfully I dunned my overcoat and walking with the two older girls to the station mot Agent Jonas, talked a while with him, having been introduced to the lady telegraph operator and ticket agent and boarded the train for Boston, accompanied by Mr. John, Jonas, whose relatives have lived a life time in Richmond. Reaching Boston, he took the next train back to Needleville, while I, after greeting Rev. H. N. Jeter of Newport R. L., who had come to Boston to conduct revival services for Rev. A. Puller, wended my way to the elevated station and took a car for Young's Hotel. "JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN." I had decided to go to the Theatre I wanted to see "Josoph and His Brethren." This great religious play was the talk of the city. I entered the play-house, after having parted with one dollar and fifty cents in good United States money. The curtain has risen and Jacob in his white garments and with snow-white beard was the central figure. Joseph wore the coat of many colors, was the favorite of his father and the envy of his brothers. The scene was admirably staged. Then came the famine, the plea for Joseph to accompany his brothers into Egypt to seek food, the plot of his brothers to kill him, the protest of Reuben and finally the determination to cast him into the dry well. Then came the caravan, the leader of which had his wife with him. The cry of distress was heard from the well and Joseph was rescued only to be sold to the leader of the caravan. HIGHLY FAVORED Joseph won high favor in Egypt. The lord made him the chief over all the household. The lord's wife fell in love with him and when he would not yield to her wished and be untrue to his lord and master, she decided to destroy him. The scenery was magnificent, all of the Oriental splendor was displayed. The attempt to poison Joseph was admirably displayed and the devotion of Jacob's favorite son to his lord was sublime. The return of the Pharaoh's chief officer, the complaint of his favorite wife against Joseph, the degradation of Joseph and his incarceration in a dungeon were vividly displayed. THE SCENE IN THE PRISON Then was shown the scene in the prison and the dreams of his two fellow prisoners. Joseph interprets the dream of the one that he would be restored to high honor and the other that he would be beheaded. The terror and agony of the condemned felon when the interpretation became true and the joy of the other were vividly portrayed. Then was shown the palace of Pharaoh and the magnificence and transcondant splendor of the surroundings. The ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and other signs of Egyptian history added to the surpassing grandeur of the stage settings. Pharaoh had a dream and none of the sooth-sayers or the magicians could interpret it to the satisfaction of the worried monarch. He condemned them to death. Then the one who had been a prisoner thought of his own dream and of Joseph. He told Pharaoh and Joseph was brought. He interpreted the dream and at once, became the foremost ruler of the kingdom. He husbanded the resources of Egypt and when the famine came, the barns of the Egyptians were stocked with bountiful crops. THE GRIEF OF JACOB. Then came into Egypt, Joseph's brothen. They did not know the kinsman they had so Jeeply wronged. He gave them food and demanded that they bring unto him Benjamin. He had kept one of the brothers as a hostage. The grief of Jacob was strikingly portrayed. Joseph's revenge was sweet for he held Benjamin and then made himself known to his brothem. It reminded me of the hymn I had beard song during childhood days: But God for your sake sent me here." The meeting of Jacob and Joseph and the closing scene in this magnificent play were superb.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 1.—The colored population of this city are, in a state of great excitement over the delibrate and unwarranted murder of Grand Master William Alexander, of the Mosaic Templars, a colored organization, which occurred at the colored Odd Fellow's Hall this morning. The murderer is N. H. Harrison a deputy Grand Master of the same order, who has been in charge of the local loake since its establishment about two years ago. LIVED IN. KANSAS. Grand Master Alexander lived in Kansas and came here Friday to inspect the lodge over which Harrison had been presiding. A meeting of the lodge was held on Friday night and this morning Harrison walked into the Odd Follow's Hall where Alexander was seated at a desk and without a word of warning placed a revolver at his head and fired. The bullet passed through Alexander's neck, killing him instantly. Harrison, when placed in jail, refused to state any reason for his dead, maintaining a stubborn silence as to the cause of the differences between himself and Alexander. It is suspected that irregularities in the management of the lodge's affairs were about to be uncovered by the investigations of the dead man. UARROW ESCAPE At the time of the shooting, J. H. McConico, who was in the room, had a narrow escape. He testified that Harrison attempted to shoot him also. This statement was made in the office of E. E. Underwood, a local colored physician, it is said. The examining trial will be held Saturday, November 8th. Both men have friends here and the sentiment in the matter is about equally divided. The Mosaic Templars were getting a good foothold in this community and it is feared that the killing will have a damaging effect upon the future of the order here. It was impossible to get members of the organization to discuss the matter for publication and details are spares. It is expected that Harrison will tell his side of the affair at the preliminary trial. Things today are quiet and no further trouble is expected by the authorities.—Indianapolis, Ind. Ledger. Committee of Colored Men Sees Press Ident Wilson and Troops Against Race Segregation. Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.—A delegation of colored citizens representing the National Independent Political League, bearing a protest and petition directed against race segregation in the government service, visited the President on Thursday, and had an audience with him. The petition bore about twenty thousand signatures, from 38 States, mostly colored people, about equally divided between the South and the North. The delegation was introduced by Congressman Thatcher of Massachusetts. The delegation was composed of W. Momroe Trotter of Boston, Rev. Dr. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., President of the League, Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, W. Maurice Spencer of Delaware, Thomas Walker of District of Columbia, F. H. M. Murray of Virginia, and Mrs. Idella Barnett of Chicago. MR. TROTTER SPOKESMAN. W. Monroe Trotter, editor of The Boston Guardian, was spokesman. He made an extended statement and gave instances of discrimination which had been discovered and insisted that these were calculated to "humiliate and degrade our race and bring it into scorn and contempt," and that it was all the worse since it is being done under authority of the National government. The President was impressed by the protest and commented on its strength and stated that it was deserving of, and should receive, careful consideration. The delegation said that the President seemed at first inclined to doubt if the matters complained of had any official sanction. But he was handed a copy of an order issued by the auditor for the Interior Department which explicitly ordered separation on account of color in invariances. Other orders of similar import which had been issued in other bureaus were embodied in the matter left with the President. He then stated that perhaps he was not well posted on the matter. He said that he would go into the matter thoroughly and would endeavor to find a solution satisfactory to all concerned, and gave assurance that segregation had not been decided up on as an administration policy. WRONG PRINCIPLE. In their protest the spokesman of the delegation insisted that it was the principle of segregation that was objected to and not the manner in which it was administered. He quoted a letter written by Mr. Wilson before election as follows: "It is my earnest wish to see justice done colored people in every matter, and not more grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every principle of our Constitution commands this, and our own sympathies should also make it easy." Commenting on this the petitioners said to the President: "Fauler words were never written and their readers could not possibly have expected their author to countenance the institution of any new policy in his own branch of the Government, now admittedly based on racial prejudice, against them; a policy of caste which no president would dare even hint for citizens of any of the many other racial extractions which make up our heterogeneous population." The petitioners laid particular stress upon the order of Secretary McAdoo requiring separate eating tables, and on the segregation in the auditor's rooms of the Postoffice Department, the Navy, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and also where. NOT A NECESSARY REGULATION. "Necessity," says the petition, "can not be ploaded as an excuse for this affront and injury. Afro-Americans and other American employees have been working together, eating at the same tables, and using the same lavatories and toilets for two generations. They have worked in peace and harmony and the Government's business has been well executed. Some of the very Afro-American clerks taken from rooms where Americans of other ancestries worked, or from seats in juxtaposition thereto have worked for twenty-five and thirty years. They did so through two Democratic Administrations. These Democratic Administrations were nearer the abolition of slavery of Africans than yours, Mr. Presleat. The same efforts to insigurate this segregation in Government service were made under your illustrous predecessor, the late President Grover Cleveland, and were stopped by his order, and we trust they will be in short order by yourself." At a mass meeting under the auspices of the League on Friday night, which tacked the large Minneapolis St. Baptist Church, the delegation made a full report. At this meeting it was urged that the sending in of signed petitions be continued. It was also advised that letters of protest be sent to congressmen and senators by colored citizens everywhere. WILL ARGUB RACE LAW. Maryland Lawyers to Support "Grand father Clauses." Case is in Supreme Court. Maryland's "grandmother clause" election law and the Nassau ordinance aimed at the express companies by New York city will be up for oral argument before the Supreme Court this week. The Federal circuit court in Maryland has held the State election act of 1908 unconstitutional, and fined the election officials for including Negroes from registering. The contested law provides that only males 21 years old, possessing 5600 worth of property, who were entitled, or whose ancestors were entitled to vote on January 1, 1868, should be entitled to register in Annapolis municipal elections. FEDERAL AMENDMENTS ASSAILED. Attorneys for the election officials claim that the amendments to the Federal Constitution prohibiting States from denying or abridging the right of persons to vote on account of race have no application to municipal elections. The New York city express cases are said to have attracted the attention of many cities, which may impose similar regulations on the big express companies. The regulation, which provides for the licensing of persons "engaged in the express business" was held unconstitutional by the Federal circuit court in New York on the ground that it improperly interfered with interstate commerce. Washington Post. Colored Man Kills Wife and Ther Fire Shot Into Own Brain. Becoming temporarily insane, following a heated argument with his wife, Isaac Jackson, colored, secured his revolver and fired a ball into his spouse's body and then turned upon himself and sent a bullet crushing into his brain. Both of them died instantly. The shooting occurred late yesterday afternoon in Jackson's home, Midtown turnipke, Swansboro. The direct cause of the double tragedy is unknown, none of the neighbors having heard the quarrel. When the shots were fired neighbors rushed to the house and found both dead, and a smoking revolver still clutched tightly by the husband. The bodies were turned over to Funeral Director Cunningham. Dr. Loving has not decided yet as whether or not he will hold an inquest over the dead bodies.—Virginian, Nov. 10.

One-eyed Man Hit By Car—Death Was Unexpected. Because Thomas Phillips, colored, died Thursday night in Memorial hospital, presumably from injuries sustained when struck by an automobile driven by him on the night of Monday, October 26th, Archer G. Jones, president of the Duplex Envelope and Printing company, and of the Rosemary company, inc., yesterday submitted himself to the police on a technical charge of murder. Jones was booked at the Second police station as arrested by Detectives Atkinson and Krengle and Policeman Samuels. He was admitted, to bail by Judge Richardson, of the Hustings court. Mr. Jones appeared yesterday morning at police headquarters and informed Major Werner that a colored man whom he had hit with his automobile at the corner of Franklin and Poushee streets several nights ago had died in the Memorial hospital. He told the police chief that he had expected to be arrested, and was informed that until he appeared the police knew nothing of the colored man's death. Detectives Atkinson and Krengle, detailed to the case, learned at the hospital that Phillips had appeared to be making aplendid progress toward recovery until a short time before he was claimed by death. SEVERAL BONES BROKEN The man had suffered a broken collarbone and three broken ribs in the accident, according to the physicians who attended him since he was taken to the hospital. That there were internal injuries that the physicians had not discovered and which caused the death of the man is now believed. When the accident occurred on the night of the 26th, Mr. Jones took the colored man into his car and took him to Memorial hospital, where he secured two nurses, one for day, the other for night, that one might be constantly in attendance upon his victim. He also had his family physician, Dr. C. A. Blanton, give the colored man attention. At the time of the accident, it was about 7 o'clock in the evening, the colored man was crossing the street in front of No. 1 East Franklin St. the residence of Mrs. A. L. Blowware by whom he had been employed as butler for several years. BLIND IN ONE EYE Phillips, who was about sixty eight years of age, and who was blind in one eye, is believed to have misjudged the distance between the car and himself, for he hesitated as he started across the street, halted and then started ahead again, getting directly in the path of the car. Mr. Jones, who was driving the car saw the man stop and thought, he says, that it would be safe for him to continue the course of the car. He was running the car about ten or twelve miles an hour he says, and there are three or four witnesses of the accident, who will corroborate this and who, Mr. Jones believes, will show hitting the man was entirely accidental. As the car continued to run, Phillips started ahead and taking a diagonal course across the street came into the path of the machine. LEARNS PHILLIES IS DEAD. He was picked up by Mr. Jones, assisted by persons who saw the accident, and was placed in the auto and rushed at once to the hospital. The condition of Phillips at the hospital was watched closely by Mr. Jones, and until a late hour Thursday night, every indication pointed to the colored man's recovery. Yesterday morning Mr. Jones, inquiring after the man, learned he was dead. It then he went to police headquarters and told of the circumstances of the case and informed the police where he could be found if wanted. The investigation of the detectives showed the man was dead and Jones was called to headquarters, where he submitted to arrest. —Richmond Virginian, Nov. 8. Mr. Jones has since been discharged from custody. Mrs. Payne's Death. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Payne (the beloved mother of Mrs. Thomas M. Crump) who departed this life Monday afternoon, November 3d, after having spent an honored life of ninety years, took place from the Second Baptist Church, Thursday afternoon, November 6th. Rev. Z. D. Lewis proached a very pathetic funeral sermon. The floral designs were very beautiful. Mrs. Payne had been a member of Second Baptist Church for more than sixty years, having been baptized by Rev. Jeremiah Porter. The casket was of a purple design handcumely trimmed and furnished by the funeral director, Mr. A. D. Price. She leaves one daughter, several relatives and a host of friends to mourn her sad, but somewhat unfortunate death, she having become asphylaxed. The pall bearers were as follows: Honorary: E. M. Harris and James Muray. Active: Luscious Stors, Taylor Brown, Peter Smith, B. P. Vandervall, J. M. Edwards and Young Nelson. The interment was in Crump's section, Greenwood Cemetery. Hampton Defeats Lincoln 13 to 0 On Saturday, November 8, Lincoln University went down to defeat for the third consecutive time at the hands of the Hampton Institute foot ball eleven, on Lincoln University grounds. The rain in the morning before the game made the field slippery and prevented fast team work from either side. Lincoln's heavy team was favored by the condition of the field, but the charging and breaking through of Hampton's line broke up their formations before they started—often tackling the runner for a loss. It was evident in the early part of the game that Hampton had the better team, but it was clearly shown in the fourth quarter, when Lincoln added a penalty, got the ball on Hampton's two-yard line and first down and was unable to cross Hampton's goal. Lincoln was forced to play a defensive game as the ball was in her territory most of the time. Both teams attempted several forward passes, some of which were successful. Hampton's first touchdown was made from a long forward pass by Fred Bender to James Gayle over the goal line. The second one resulted from a blocked kick by Nelson Wildy, which was recovered by Ralph Stoney and carried across the goal line by William A. Flynt, who time and again tackled through Lincoln's line for ten yards. Hampton outplayed Lincoln in every department of the game. Captain Joseph O. Oliver of the Hampton team, played an unusually strong defensive game and was found in every play. Bender at quarter for Hampton punted well and used good judgment in running the team. Wheaton the all-star backfield man of last season, was unable to shine for Lincoln. Not more than twice during the game was he able to gain his distance. The game would have been more enjoyed by the spectators had there been less roughness and wrangling with the officials on the part of the Lincoln team, thus showing a lack of knowledge of the football code. Score: Hampton 13, Lincoln 0. Touchdowns, Gayle and Flynt. Goal from touch down, Bender, Referee, Henderson, Umpire, Wilkinson, Lineman, Jameson. Time of quarters, fifteen minutes. Y. M. C. A.

Colored soldiers will protect them, too, and exercising their forgiving natures let by-gones, be by-gones --- Counsel for the members of the main executive committee of the Virginia charged Home and Industrial School for Girls days from at Bon Air are reported to have asked the Board for a change of venue for their clients to have a from Chesterfield C.

Since prejudice was the origin of the trouble and rank injustice has been the result of pandering to a species of wrongdoing. Who's sorry? --- Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass, and his delegation on November 6th, 1913 were accorded a patient hearing by President Woodrow Wilson with reference to the segregation of the colored employees in the various departments at Washington. It has been alleged that these discriminations did not exist, but this statement is known to be untrue. That a President of the United States should for a moment hesitate as to his duty in this matter, —the plain legal prohibition against any discrimination against a white person or a colored one on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude seems to us to be an anomaly. The presidential oath should settle the question and Mr. Trotter's petition granted. --- The colored folks of New York or rather the martial element amongst them are having trouble about the colored regiment to be composed of colored men. The trouble now seems to be one of officers. The regiment is destined to appear with white officers, due to the fact that the military department of the State war and is now hostile to the organization of the regiment and are raising technical and legal objectives to the mastering in of the officer. It seems that the law requires that the Colonel designated to take charge of a regiment must have held a commission in the National Guard for three successive years. It is alleged that Major Charles W. Fillmore compiles with this requirement, but those to be affiliated with him are required to have held a commission in the National Guard for two successive years. The indications are that it will be some time before the proposed regiment passes beyond the company organization stage unless the law is compiled with by the appointment of white officers to command the regiment. It is needless to say that the colored New Yorkers are almost as "hot in the collar" as they would be if they lived in Washington, D.C. THE TWO SETS OF ORPHANS This "begging business" sometimes has amusing features. The following cliping from the Dallas, Texas Express explains itself: Rev. W. L. Dickson of Glimer, the veteran Orphan Home man, was in the city this week just as busy as an ant, the son. He is usually busy, but, when reached the city and found that Rev. A. R. Grigge another orphan home promoter, had stole a march on him, and stole even more than a "march"—had stolen his Thanksgiving thunder—his rage was uncontrollable. His "Thanksgiving thunder" conceived in the offerings from the public schools of this city, which for years have been given to the Dickson Colored Orphanage. This year while it flew, Dickson was away on another field. Rev. Griggs sent in an innocent booking petition to the powers that be and they ordered the hitherto Dickson offering given to the Griggs Orphanage—another case where Esau was the blessing from Jacob. Now, the air is heavy with threatenings and there may be trouble. The Dallas Express hopes that the matter may be properly adjusted. Certainly, the conduct of Rev. Griggs toward Rev. Dickson in this matter is inexusable. The school authorities, school teachers and students should proceed as formerly and give their support to the Dickson Colored Orphanage. Let us have peace. It seems to us that our contemporary has practically nicknamed Rev. Dr. Griggs "Esaun." Whether or not it intends to infer that Dr. Griggs and Rev. Dickson have been getting the blessing and not the orphans, deponent sayeth not. It is "Miserable business" at the best, to contend and fight over a charitable donation and the country at large no doubt seconds the Express in its statement, "Let us have peace." --- MOTHODISTS HAVE TROUBLE There is a "shaking up" taking place in the offices of the Philadelphia Pa. Christian Recorder and the last issue of that journal contains the resolutions of the Publication Board. They are admirably drawn and intentionally severe in their conclusions although the time limit inserted in the cases of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the editor and Rev. Dr. J. I. Lowe, the manager, both of whom are discharged, the same to take effect sixty days from date would indicate that the Board was not acting with undue haste and that it still has time to correct any error in judgment if there has been any error. It seems that Rev. Dr. J. I. Lowe has been guilty of taking too much "dram" for the stomach's sake and this produced vertigo, from which he is alleged to have suffered. Dr. Wright evidently doesn't like "dram" and on this account Dr. Lowe is not an agreeable companion for Dr. R. R. Wright, the anti-dramster. Dr. Wright did not like Dr. Lowe "no how" and the fact that the latter exposed himself in the public streets of Philadelphia was too much for him to stand and he relieved the Church of all responsibility or attempted so to do by disavowing any responsibility or sympathy for such conduct. Dr. Lowe seemed to have been too groggy to think else he would have had a family physician's prescription in his pocket, for the obtaining of the liquor under some Latin name. If he went after this whiskey he made the mistake of throwing away the bottle and carrying the intoxicating stuff on his insides. As to Editor Wright's indiscretions we are unable to pass judgment. The Publication Board seems to know one thing and that it that it does not want Editor Wright longer and so he must get out. Dr. Wright's reputation will not suffer, but Dr. Dlowe is ruined so far as his usefulness in the Christian Church is concerned. We cannot see our way clear, with the lights before us to criticize the Publication Board for its action. The dismissal of Dr. Wright for indiscretions in the editorial department in publishing matter reflecting upon the fate of the Church would not reflect upon him or injure him in the minds of thoughtful people. If the Publication Board accepted hospitality at the hands of Rev. Dr. Lowe by taking dinner at his residence, while he was being tried by that body, then it was guilty, of an indiscretion almost as serious as the one with which Dr. Wright stood charged. The National Baptist Publishing Board had a similar trouble, excepting the charges of drunkenness, which resulted in the publication of two Baptist Journals. The whole business is unsavory and the sooner it is forgotten, the better. 1. DR. WASHINGTON'S ORSERVA TIONS. Dr. Booker T. Washington's visit to this city gave absolute satisfaction to the white folks. His wise sayings and farm-house logic won for him encomiums of praise from all quarters. The editorial columns of the daily press came forward with commendation of a kind and quality well suited to make the distinguished leader smile. The educator made complimentary remarks concerning the editor of this journal and the fact of having "poked some fun" at us was the subject of comment, some of the friends viewing it from one angle and some from another. We have received a letter from Major R. R. Moton, Commandant at Hampton Institute which will no doubt prove interesting and explain itself: "Hampton Institute, Virginia. "November 12, 1913 "My dear Mr. Mitchell: "I wish to thank you most heartily for your co-operation and help in our meeting last week. I wish to thank you also for your splendid address, which you delivered at our first session. I was sorry you were not at our meeting Friday night at the City Auditorium. "Dr. Washington spoke of you in the highest praise. He poked some fun at you, of course, but he said you are conducting the best business enterprise and that you are one of the best leaders of our race and one of the most useful men of our race, and we all agreed with him. I was sorry you could not hear exactly what he said. It was a splendid compliment and what is more pleasant is that it is absolutely deserved. "With best wishes, I am "Always yours sincerely. "R. R. MOTON." We appreciate this compliment for we know that Majör Moton As a bosom friend of Dr. Washington and in the estimation of the public stands upon the platform with him. His spotless character and brilliant record have given him this deserved recognition. In the light of his relationship to Dr. Washington, we accept his explanation of the remarks at the City Auditorium, November 7th, 1913 as official, so to speak. If we could measure up fully in our own judgment to the high standard accorded to us by some of our admirers, we would be one of our happiest of men. The assassination of William Alexander, National Grand Master of the National Order of Mosaic Templars of America at Frankfort, Kentucky, Saturay, November 1st, 1912 by N. H. Harrison is a shocking culmination of a feud in that organization, which has been brawling for many months. The details of the affair seem to be one sided, affording absolutely no justification for the action of the man, who now stands charged with murder. Indeed, the moral information we have been given no doubt on to the fact that this passion and intense prejudice found in this grim tragedy. It behooves other colored orders to look around and see whether they are drifting, whether they can ignore fundamental principles and cling to the radical part of life instead of setting examples of honesty, piety and square dealing which all may emulate and practice. The National Order of Mosaic Templars of America has our sympathy in its great benevolence. May his successor prove equal to the emergency and his ways be those of peace. Editor Mitchell Travels. (Continued From First Page.) curtain descent and then rise again and then the play was over. THE RETURN JOURNEY I passed out to Washington street, threaded my way through the crowd, doroughfare and reaching Young's Hotel packed my luggage for the journey. the next morning at ten o'clock. I took breakfast in the palatial dining room where in the evenings an orchestra enveloped the scene. A polite bell-man brought down my I gagge and the taxicab at the door carried me specially to the Old South Station. I hastened to have my ticket filled and was astounded to learn that was good only on the Federal Express the great Pennsylvania special with its continuous service from Washington to Boston. I was due in New Haven that afternoon and I bought a ticket. IN NEW HAVEN Teaching New Haven, known as the "City of Elms," I stood on the platform. No one was in sight. Finally a colored porter, who had assisted me sent me up in a carriage to D. Aubrey L. Magill's residence, 6S Dixwell Ave. I had reached the place assigned me. In this cozy home, I was content. The house had been practically rebuilt and his Madame was an excellent house keeper. I was to speak at the Baptist Church, of which Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D. is pastor. Dr. Magill had formerly practiced in Trenton, N. J. He pronounced it to be the worst city in the country for money. "Why," he said, "out of fifty patients who would come into my office not ten of them would have any money." DR. MAGILL'S WISHES Dr. Magill is a West Indian. He graduated with high honors in Canada and also in the West Indies. His diplomas adorned his office. He wanted to settle in the South and he believed that the South was the place for him, but his wife, who is a Southerner was unwilling for him to do on account of his high temper. It was not look before Mr. A. Joseph Allen called for me and we went to the church where I addressed a huge audience in addition to the members of the Goffe St. Y. M. C. A. of which Mr. Ross is President. Many prominent civilians were present. I had spoken nearly an hour and then Rev. Klugh insisted that I should go home with him and his Madame and speak at that night. I did so and when I entered Dr. Magill's residence that night, it was to speedily retire. A MORNING RAMBLE In the early morning, I roamed the streets of New Haven alone. Mr. Allen had explained that he did not meet me at the station because my special delivery letter had miscarried, but now I arose early and安禁ed through the grounds of Yale College where ex-President Taft had charge of the law department. It may be well to remark that he had been invited to address the Y. M. C. A., but to had toill an engagement in another city, and then it was that I had been invited to speak. I saw a church with a history. On the tablet was, "Quotnniplack 1637, named New Haven in 1840. English Christians led by John-Davenport. Theophilus Eaton were founders of the city. Earliest house built in 1639. Present house dedicated in 1814." A MAGNIFICENT EDIFICE I looked on the church with reverential awe, passed to another one in the vicinity, inspected the public library and stopped before the now courthouse which was being erected. The marble statuary on the last named building was grand. It portrayed Grecian architecture. Man was shown in his natural state. There were neither frills nor clothing on those marble statues and had any one of them been in the flesh, with such absolute nakedness, he or all of them would have been marched to the New Haven police station and placed in the "lock-up." Whatever man had those statues had, and not even with Eve's covering. EVELYN NESBIT THAW. I turned to cross the public square and after crossing it saw a flaming handbill, "Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw." In addition was an electric sign giving the same information. I was in front of the theatre where she would give a matinee that day and an entertainment that night. With Harry K. Thaw occupying space in the newspapers and his wife occupying space on the bill-boards, this nauseating scandal was now complete. So I walked to the TV clock and so I hastened to Dr. Magill to get breakfast. Every way I turned it was Yale College and one would readily get the impression that New Haven was Yale College and Yale College was New Haven. DR. KLUGH'S LABORS. It may be well to state that Rev. Dr. D. S. Kjish is doing a good work Mary's church is so used as a child and an alternative on my growing臂们 we had enclosed our barn somewhere there. He has purchased a home in a section where it is insured by value. I was about to leave Karen and inter I left for New York. Arriving at the New York Central Station, I son had carried my bagage to the great Pennsylvania Union Station. I placed it in the parcel room and I felt "foot-loose" in fancy free." I visited the New York office where I met Hon. Fred R. Moore. His son, looking more like his brother, was with him while Mr. Lester A. Walton was busy. IN NEW YORK AGAIN. A pleasant conversation on current events and I passed out to see the sights of the city. It was in the afternoon that I entered a play-house and from there I went to the station. I inspected the great electric engines which would pull the train through the tubes under the Hudson River, to be taken South by the heavy locomotives. It was 10 o'clock that night when the word was given and I boarded the sleeping-car for Richmond. Every berth was taken and a white pasgner appealed to the Pullman conductor to provide for him if any of them should be vacated. I went to bed in an upper berth, the best. I had been able to obtain at midday and I awoke the next morning to find that I had over-slept myself and was nearing Frederickburg, Va. NEARING RICHMOND A short time, afterwards I had reached Anchil and then Richmond. I left the train at Elba only to find every carriage taken. I telephoned for one after observing that the two carriages there wore for a funeral party with Mr. W. Isaac Johnson as the undertaker. I was not ready to join the mourners and an offer to ride in the undertaker's buggy was not acceptable. It took just about fifteen minutes for Mr. A. D. Price to send me a carriage and loss than that time to reach my residence where with a bounding step. I greeted relatives and a few moments later was in the ecstacy of joy at reaching my familiar quarters where rest and solitude braced me up for the day's duties and the week's responsibilities.

Parcel Post Profits $30,000,000 It has become known that the profit to the government from the operation of the new parcel post system during the calendar year 1913 would be about $30,000,000. The new system became effective on Jan. 1 last. It was estimated that the profits for the first year would be about $15,000,000, but the actual figures now in possession of postal officials convince them that the profit, instead of being $15,000,000, will be $30,000,000 for the first year. This will be interesting news to the railway officials, who have been contending that their roads were entitled to extra remuneration for carrying the mails, on account of the operation of the parcel post. It was learned from a reliable quarter that, even assuming that the contention of the railroads was correct, there still would have been a good margin of profit at the end of the calendar year 1913, after the payment of extra remuneration to the goods. If a parcel post adjustment were made along the lines suggested by some of the railroads, probably not more than $10,000,000 of this $30,000; 900 would be due to the railroads as extra pay. The total income from the parcel post for 1913 will be around $80,000,000. SUPERIOR TB CORPANIA & INJECTIONS SANTA ANA RELIEVES IN 54 HOURS Elgin Watches Rev. R. K.

Raise. About Half of Demand. AFFECTS ABOUT 100,000 MEN Report of the Arbitration Board Is Made Public in New York, Ending Long Fight. The long-lived controversy between the railroads of the east and their conductors and trainmen over the latter's demands for more pay is ended. The employees receive an increase in wages averaging seven per cent. and totaling $6,000,000 annually—about half what they wanted—from Oct. 1 last, effective for one year. One hundred thousand men will share in the increase. Under the federal law, which governed the arbitration proceedings, the decision will be filed in New York in the United States district court. The board of six arbitrators, two representing the railroads, two for the men and two "neutral," began their work in New York Sept. 11. Thus ends, by arbitration under the Newlands amendment to the Erdman act, a controversy that threaten at one time to tie up by a strike the transportation facilities of all states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river. The award of the arbitration commission, filed in the Federal district court, is binding and final. The two board representatives of the employees filed a minority report in addition and the two representatives of the forty-one railroads a dissenting opinion. In reaching its award the board ruled mainly against the employees on four out of five points submitted as reasons why the increase should be granted and found for them on the fifth—the increased cost of living. Since 1999 when last an increase was granted, the arbitrators found that the cost of living has increased seven per cent. Certain minor conditions embraced also were conceded to the employees. It was, therefore, more than a coincidence that the increase granted in wages is exactly the increase in the cost of living, as outlined by documents introduced by the employees. "The board does not found its action entirely upon the increased cost of living," reads the award, a document of seventy-five printed pages, "though it looks upon this as basic." Deatrova Stock of Drinks George Borman, for many years a successful saloonkeeper in Nanticoke, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has embraced Christianity. To celebrate the change he has publicly burned his liquor license, destroyed his stock of beer and whisky by dumping it in the streets and refusing several big offers for his business. Borman's conversion has cost him about $3000. Matthew Borman, his brother, recently became a member of the First Methodist church of Nanticoke, and since then he has been trying to get the saloonkeeper interested in church work. George attended several church meetings and declared he saw a new light. He became a Methodist convert and decided to make a complete change in his life. His first step, was to pull down the blinds of his saloon and to lock the doors. Then he knocked in the heads of the beer kegs and dumped the contents, together with whisky and wine, into the gutter. Then Borman publicly burned his license after several men offered to buy him out. McCombs Wade Miles William William F. McCombs, chairman of the national Democratic committee and manager of President Wilson's campaign, was married in London, England, to Miss Dorothy Williams, of Washington, daughter of Colonel John R. Williams, U. S. A., retired. The ceremony took place in the Catholic church of St. Peter and St. Edward. Mr. McCombs had been ill for about six months, and up to the eve of the wedding it was doubtful whether his health would permit the ceremony. Charles W. Halsey, an old classmate of Mr. McCombs at Princeton, was best man. The marriage was performed by Rev. Father Vaughan, of London, who is well known in the United States. The marriage was the outcome of a romance which began with the inauguration of President Wilson in Washington. It was there that Miss Williams and Mr. McCombs met. President Wilson has been urging Mr. McCombs to become ambassador to France, and it is understood that he will accept. Sheet on Bridge; Sen Gives Self Up. Shot in a desperate battle early on Sunday morning on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company's bridge over Darby creek, Thomas A. Lee, a deputy tax collector of Philadelphia, died in the Chester hospital. John Lee, twenty-six years old, the they were surrounded to the authority in the detective bureau at city hall. Fourteen hours after the shoot, he was then taken to the Delaware county jail at Media. The shot followed a quarrel between father and son at a masquerade party, given in the father's boothhouse on Darby creek, according to William Lee. Lee said he could give but manger details regarding the incidents that led up to the tragedy, as he did not attend the masquerade party and knew nothing of the affair until two hours after it happened. John Mitchell to Retire John Mitchell, for fifteen years actively connected with the work of the American Federation of Labor, and for years one of its vice presidents, an nounced in Butte, Mont. Thursday at a banquet given in his honor that he would withdraw from official connection with the Federation at its meeting in Seattle next week. Mr. Mitchell said his withdrawal was voluntary. "It does not mean that I am quitting the labor ranks," he said, "but I want to give place to a certain member of the United Mine Workers of America who has done much good for the cause and who I think should be made an official of the American Federation." Maniac Shoots Two Policeman. "I've got a message from God and nobody, can stop me," cried Walter Kuhman, aged twenty-nine years, as he brandished a revolver and fired point blank at Patrolman Warren Snow in the central police station in Detroit, Mich. When chased by Patrolman Arthur J. Mitchell, he turned and drud at that officer. Both men were fatally shot. Snow died on the way to St. Mary's hospital. Mitchell's death is momentarily expected. Kuhman, who is mentally deranged, had been told by Police Lieutenant Schnabel that he could not leave the station, which angered him. He was captured. Kills Child and Herself. Mrs. Benjamin L. Banks, one of the most prominent women of Kentucky, shot and killed her only child, a boy, twelve years old, and then blew out her own brains at her home in Richmond, Ky. The tragedy followed the receipt of news announcing the sudden death of her husband from pneumonia in Adair county, where he had been visiting his parents. Mrs. Banks was formerly secretary of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs. Railroad Men Overworked. Judge Rose, in the United States district court in Hagerstown, Md., imposed a fine of $600-$25 each for twenty-four violations—on the Western Maryland Railway company for violating the act of congress prohibiting railway employees from being worked more than sixteen consecutive hours. The average time was eighteen consecutive hours. The railway company admitted the allegation. Sponge Found in Patient. A patient received at the Pottsville, Pa., hospital, who had been an inmate of another hospital, was operated on and a long thin sponge a yard and a half long removed. The sponge had been used for "packing" the patient in a previous operation, but had been forgotten and sewed up. Hospital authorities refuse to give the name of the patient, but say she will recover. Whipping Post and Prison For Theft Although a jury recommended Harry C. Moore, a youth, to the mercy of the court in Wilmington, Del., after he had changed his plea of not guilty to guilty of breaking into and robbing a local more of $45, the court sentenced him to three years in jail and to be whipped with twenty lashas. Fainting Girl Hanged. Selized with a dizzy spell while she was washing dishes, Anna Bruce, fourteen years old, daughter of a well-to-do dairyman of Hickory, near Sharon, Pa. fell and was strangled to death when her head slipped into the loop of a harness repairing strap that was hanging on the wall. Blown From Cannon's Mouth. Seven ring leaders in a plot to assassinate the amber of Afghanistan were executed in Cabul by being tied to the muzzles of cannon, which were then fired.

PRESIDENT HOPES TO COERCENUERTA No Plans to Halt Loans and "Starve" Dictator Out Mr. Wilson Believes Dictator's Regime Will Collapse If Foreign Aid Is Withheld. Indications are that the American policy toward Mexico, which it is hoped the nations of the world generally will follow, still is "hands off." The general interpretation of the situation is that the United States, by giving foreign powers detailed information of its own determination to refuse to recognize the acts of the new Mexican congress, has indicated a desire that the powers generally refrain from financial dealings with the Huerta government. So far as can be learned, there has been no specific request for support by the powers, but there has been a plain intimation that the Washington government believes the collapse of the Huerta regime inevitable, if foreign aid be withheld. With the intention to regard all illegal any loans or connections the new congress may undertake, there has been distinct intimation that a policy of acquiescence by foreign governments will be gratifying to Washington. Without financial aid and with the machinery of government pronounced illegal, officials expect to see a state of affairs that may force President Huerta to eliminate himself and show the way to a solution of the problem from the American viewpoint. The cabinet met again with all the members, present except Secretary Wilson. The Mexican topic was foremost. The raising of the embargo on arms, which has been urged upon the president and practically all the secretaries, was discussed at length. Already the "financial starvation" plan is meeting with encouragement. France, it is asserted, has shown a favorable disposition by notifying French bankers that the Paris government will be displeased if money is furnished to the Huerta administration. The attitude of the other great powers has not been disclosed, but it is said that the inquiries of the United States have resulted in bringing from Great Britain a denial of the report that Huerta has succeeded in obtaining from British capitalists enough money to run the Mexican government for a month. Within the last few days President Wilson has been inclining toward lifting the embargo, and the gossip is that Bryan is seeking to show that this method of disciplining Huerta, which has been described in some quarters as barbarous, can be avoided by the negative course of preventing him from obtaining any money abroad. Thus apparently the question of lifting the embargo on arms and ammunition for the rebels will be held in abeyance and will not be decided affirmatively unless the financial "starvation" plan fails. Then the embargo may be lifted, and if in turn it fails in the desired result, or if serious complications arise, armed intervention will be the next and final step. President Wilson will not amandon military preparations, and will be prepared for intervention at any time; though he hopes and believes that extreme policy can be avoided. Between now and Nov. 20, the day set for the meeting of the new Mexican congress President Wilson, it was said by an adviser, will take no decided action unless forced to do so by unexpected events in Mexico. HANG MAN BY HIS POCKETS Highwaymen Torture Their Victim, in Unusual Manner. Two masked highwaymen held up John Rasmus, thirty-eight years old, at Duryea, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and took all his money and valuables. Because Rasmus attempted to run away after he was robbed the highwaymen tied his hands and feet securely. His empty pockets were then turned inside out and he was impaled by the pockets on the pickets of a fence. For two hours he was left hanging. Finally his cries brought help. He was exhausted from his long exposure in the cold air. Juulacketa Robbad of $12,000 The bluejackets of the American battleships Utah, Delaware, Vermont and Ohio discovered that they had been robbed of $12,000, which the sailors had entrusted to the care of a musician named Camerazzo, a former bandman on the Utah. He was to have used the money for the purpose of arranging an excursion to Rome and an audience with the pope. To Give Home For Y. W. C. A. In order that a Young Woman's Christian Association may be established in the city of Pawtucket, R. L. Mrs. Smith Grant is preparing to turn over her $50,000 estate, including the house in which she lives, for this purpose. Mrs. Grant, who is seventy-six years old, said that she could find a smaller house for herself. Philip Kipp, sixty-five years old, a farmer of near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. was run over and killed instantly by a threshing machine driven by Ms. son James. Headlace Body Washed Ashore Headless Body Washed Ashore. The body of a young woman, with the head and the hands missing, was washed ashore at Hampton Beach. N. H. The medical referee said that death was due to drowning. The absence of the head and hands was due to the action of the water, he said, and there was no evidence of fatal mar. Sub-Committee Discusses Convention Representation. Plans for reorganizing the Republican party were discussed in Washington by the law committee of the Republican national committee. Proposals for changing the number of delegates and representation basis in the national convention along lines put forward by the Progressive element of the party were taken up. The discussion indicated individual opinions that the national committee had not the power of itself to change the basis of representation, but that it could call an intermediate convention to make that and other changes. The sub-committee recommendations will be considered by the national committee on Dec. 15. Those present were: Charles B. Warren, Michigan; Representative Mann, Illinois; Roy West, Illinois; James A. Fowler, Tennessee; Sherman Granger, Ohio, and Marshall Bullitt, Kentucky. Senator Jones, of Washington, sent his proxy, B. Reynolds, secretary of the national committee, was present. Puts Kerosene on Fire; Killed. Mrs. John Patay was killed and her husband, a rich Italian merchant, of Berryburg, near Grafton, W. Va., was fatally injured in an explosion which blew their house to pieces when Mrs. Patay attempted to kindle a fire with a mixture of kerosene and gasoline $500 Stolen From Postoffice Yorkmen blew open the safe at the postoffice at Bridgeport, near Norristown, Pa., and made their escape with $500 in-money and stamps. Furniture in the office was smashed when the heavy door of the safe was blown off but occupants of the door above were not aroused. Kills Woman and Then Himself. Angered, it is alleged, because Mrs Charles E. Anderson, of Charleston W. Va., had attended a theatrical performance, Harry Ellis shot and killed her. He then killed himself. They had long been friends. Baby's Body Shipped by Train. The body of a baby was discovered in a passenger car of the Reading railway which arrived in Pottawville, Pa., from Philadelphia. It was inclosed in a big pasteboard box. Send Name and Address Today— You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous.

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY of LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS NOVEMBER 19,1863 NOVEMBER 19,1913 FOUR score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The ceremonies at the cemetery were simple in character and followed what was described in the newspapers as "a grand civic and military display" in the presence of "15,000 people, including men, women and children," chiefly residents of the town and vicinity drawn to the scene partly by a desire to see and hear Lincoln. The immortal address beginning "four score and seven years ago" was the real dedicatory speech, although it followed after a lengthy oration by a master in oratory, Edward Everett. It was an informal production, drafted hastily on the trip up from Washington. The work of reinterring the Federal dead from the battlefield was not yet completed, but there were 606 identified remains in the ground hallowed by this dedication and 582 "unknown." Lincoln's words might have been spoken of any battlefield of the conflict.

A Copy of Supreme Keeper of Records & Seal C. K. Robinson's Timely Report: To the Officers and Representatives to the Sixteenth Biennial Session to be hold at Baltimore, Maryland, August 25th to 30th, '13. Greeting: St. Louis, Mo., July, 1913. Dear Sir and Brother—As the time approaches for the next Supreme Lodge Session, I feel that the representatives and officers should know our true financial condition, in order that they may think and plan for the bestment of those conditions. The very short time allowed at the Supreme Lodge Session for the consideration of vastly important questions, is not sufficient to permit the members to become thoroughly familiar with conditions as they really exist. At this time I feel it highly important to lay these matters before you believing as I do that the hearts of the majority of our members are true to the principles of our great institution. During all the years that I, by your trust and confidence, have served as S. K. of R. and S., the desire nearest my heart has been to see our beloved Order established on a firm financial basis, and to attain this end, the records will show that I have time and again called your attention to much needed reforms in the handling and disbusing of the funds, but as stated above, the shortness of time in which to carefully consider my suggestions and investigate conditions has caused the representatives to look lightly upon them and no doubt has brought about the present crisis. In the face of the record of my frequent efforts to raise the standard of our financial system, as well as to add to our source of revenue, no honest member of the Order will dare accuse me of impure motives. CAREFULLY STUDY. I sincerely trust that you will take the time to carefully study the figures given in the following statement before discussing it with any one in order that you may be fully familiar with them. In my biennial report submitted to the Supreme Lodge at Indianapolis, Ind. in 1911, I presented to you a very carefully prepared statement showing your general expenses; salaries alone amounting to $15,200.00 for the term of two years ending August, 1911. The following table which will be found on page 146 of the 1911 minutes shows the amount of salaries paid to officers, and out of what funds they are payable: Salaries of Officers. Out of What Fund Payable. S. L. Fund. U. R. En. Fund. S. C. per term $5,000 $1,250 $3,750 Clerk—S. C. per term 2,400 600 1,800 S. K. of R. & S. per term 3,000 1,500 1,500 S. M. of Ex. per term 600 600 Sup. Atty. per term 1,200 1,200 Maj. Genl. per term 3,000 2,000 1,000 Totals. $15,200 $5,950 $1,000 $8,250 The above table shows the proper divisions of expenses for salaries and expenses of officers as recommended by the Finance Committee and adopted by the Supreme Lodge at Kansas City in 1909. FURTHER EXPLANATION. $5,950.00 of this amount, according to your law, is payable out of the Supreme Lodge fund, $1,000.00 out of the Uniform Rank fund, and $3,250.00 out of the Endowment fund. The foregoing amounts do not include the general expenses for office rent, printing, stationery, traveling expenses of officers, etc., which for the last term amounted to $13,203.29 to be paid from the Supreme Lodge fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund to July 31, 1911 amounted to $3,272.02, which left your Supreme Lodge treasury as follows: Disbursements ..... $13,203.39 Collections ..... 8,272.02 Deficit in S. L. Revenue ..... $4,931.27 I believe that Uniform Rank Department should be self-sustaining. The Receipts in that department now equal if not surpass the Supreme Lodge receipts, see Major General's report. And there is no reason why the Supreme Lodge should be burdened with paying the salary and carrying other expenses of that department. THE ENDOWMENT DEPARTMENT. The disbursements and collections of the Endowment Department of the Supremo Lodge, were as follows: Endowment expense disbursed.....$26,981.00 Endowment collected.....14,550.00 Deficit in Endowment Revenue.....$12,431.00 This left the total deficit as follows: Deficit in Supreme Lodge.....$4,936.00 Deficit in Endowment.....12,431.00 Total Deficit in both.....$17,367.00 This enormous deficit was met by the Emergency fund. The law does not permit the expenditure of more than 25 per cent of the Endowment fund collected annually for operating expenses; your collection, you will observe for the last term was $14,550.00; yet the expense incurred against that department was General expenses.....$2,807.81 Salaries.....8,181.00 Rent.....327.50 Legal expense.....5.00 $11,331.31 Death claims. 15,650.00 Total. $26,981.31 There is no emergency fund now from which the deficiency can be met. $5000 was loaned out of the Pythian Temple fund for this purpose this term. FACING A CRISIS. At the last session I warned you of the conditions which confronted you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The conservative men of the convention saw the impending danger, and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer as to the action of the majority at that time but I feel it my solemn duty to again call your attention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been paid since September 1912, and when the session convenes at Baltimore, you will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met by wise legislation, and proper regulation of expenses. Already one Grand Lodge has been forced to protest against what it terms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Representatives at the Baltimore session to exercise their very best wisdom in dealing with this question as well as the question of adjusting the manner of handling our finances, either by reducing our expenses or increasing our revenue by wise legislation, in order that the several departments of the Supreme Lodge may be self-sustaining. There is no other organization in this broad country today that is successfully operating upon the loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge. The recent experience of the True Reformers should be a sufficient warning to all. ORDER TAXED AND OVER TAXED The Order has been taxed and over-taxed, until the patience of the membership has almost reached the breaking point, and I call your attention to page 292 of the minutes of the 1911 session, which bears the following resolutions presented by Sir Francis H. Warren, D. D. G. C. of Michigan to be noted upon by the Supreme Lodge at the Baltimore spindle this year. "Tractum 6, of Article 1, to be amended. To provide a revenue for the Supreme Lodge by means of a tax on each member of the Order, and charges for supplies furnished by it, and taxes from Subordinate Lodges under its immediate jurisdiction." Article 10, to be amended to read as follows: "Each member of the Order shall pay to the Supreme Lodge by and through the Grand and Subordinate Lodges thereof, a tax not to exceed 10 cents per annum, and each Grand and Subordinate Lodge shall pay for supplies such as may be found in the by-laws of the Supreme Lodge, and all work or supplies so obtained must be paid for when ordered, or in date of delivery."

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Supreme Lodge its proper authority to receive a Per Capita tax upon the membership. If this resolution prevails there will be no further need of extra taxations. It will produce a revenue of about $15,000 annually that with the sale of supplies and the control of a regalia and printing plant, with proper regulations will place the Supreme Lodge on a sound financial footing. Article X of the original laws as adopted, amended and published in 1880 in 1886 read as follows: "Each Grand Lodge shall pay to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $128 annually for each representative to which they are entitled, etc. and to make annual returns to the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal with same." The collection of $26.00 biennially, is inadequate and there should either be an increase in representative tax or a new law enacted creating a per capita tax upon the membership as outlined in the foregoing paragraph. Since I have been your Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, I have built up a splendid revenue from the supply department, and made several efforts to direct your attention to the advisability of operating a National Supply and Regalia House, and I again urge here, there is no good reason why certain officers should be operating Regalia Houses for their personal benefit when the Order needs the revenues from sales for its maintenance; that if you are not in a position to start a plant equipped and owned by the Supreme Lodge, you should at least control the sales of supplies and regalia to Grand Lodges and members of the Order, through the office of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, in order that the Supreme Lodge may receive its just portion of the revenue derived from its influence and membership, by private concerns, as is the case at present. FINANCIAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE ALTERED There should be some alteration in your financial system. The largest amount of revenue coming into the organization is through the Endowment fund, and if the Supreme Chancellor is to continue handling this fund as at present, collecting and paying them out at will, it is certainly not good business sense to permit him to appoint his own Finance Committee to audit his own accounts, as they are not independent, and subject to removal by him at any time, which of course unit them to render the Supreme Lodge honest, efficient service. This is a burning issue and ought to be remedied at once. Officers came to the last session without reports, some with their books and vouchers missing, acknowledging their carelessness and failure to make proper reports for two years, while the Finance Committee, overlooking all these fragrant violations of the law, were losing time attempting to find flaws in the books and accounts of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, which after all, they were forced to admit were properly kept, as examination by experts had previously shown. If the Supreme Lodge owed $12,080 and had only $8,000 with which to pay it, and it was paid, my books must show where the money came from to pay it with; if I am to live up to my obligations as a man and honored officer of the order, I refuse to conceal it and shall continue to perform my duties fearlessly as God gives me wisdom to see the right. SHOULD BE FREE TO ACT. If your Finance Committee was free to act, the above conditions could not possibly exist and your Supreme Chancellor would be in a position to enforce the law and the recommendations of the Committee whose duty it is to rigidly examine the books and determine the expenditures without fear brer favor to any-one, then confidence in the Officers and The Supreme Lodge would soon be restored. I believe the above suggestions if approved will sufficiently amend our laws to meet the present demands. With the facts I have plainly put before you, I trust you will rise to the full stature of your manhood at the Baltimore session, and assist in taking such steps as will secure the future of our beloved organization, and thus enable those who trust you with their interests to say: "I shall not fear." He holds no parley with unmanly fears, Where duty bids, he confidently steers; Faces a thousand dangers at her call, And, trusting in his God surmounts them all. Yours in F. C. & B., C. K. ROBINSON, S. K. of R. & C. woman believed to be Mrs. Mary Loulsm, of St. Clair, near Pottaville, Pa., was found dead in a clump of bushes just off the public road on the outskirts of Pottaville. Mrs. Loulsa disappeared from her home about two weeks ago and her twelve-year-old daughter created excitement at the time when she reported to the police that her father had thrown her mother down a mine breach and killed her. The mine breach was searched in vain. A week ago the husband, Michael Loulsm, disappeared from home, leaving four small children alone. They are now being cared for by the county. The police are now searching for the husband, as the description of the missing woman tallies with that of the murdered woman. She had been dead about two weeks. Two drunken prisoners with a riot gun and 1000 rounds of ammunition held high carnival in the Morris county fall at Morristown, N. J. They terrorized the other prisoners, riddled the keeper's office with bullets and failed in their plot for a wholesale fail delivery only because they drank too much liquor after escaping from their cells. Demanded Daughter For Pay of Debt. Mrs. Mary Maurello had Frank Yanai arrested in Newton, N. J., on the charge of demanding her daughter in marriage, in settlement of a $55 debt. Mrs. Maurello says Yanai had threatened to "get even" when she refused his demand. The two prisoners, Eugene Sampson and John Burns, were placed in the hospital ward with several other prisoners, charged, like themselves, with minor offenses. Sampson and Burns pecked the lock to a door which leads into the keeper's office. Entering the office they broke open a deak and got a bottle of liquor that had been taken from a prisoner a few hours before. This they drank. Kather's Position "I hear your daughter married against your wishes. Why didn't you stop the match." Then they broke into a store room and got the riot gun and ammunition. On a shelf nearby lay other riot guns, but these the prisoners did not touch. "Well, it wasn't seriously against my wishes. I just want to be able to say I told her so if anything goes wrong." —Kansas City Journal. Returning to the hospital ward, they closed the iron door and began firing through it. As each shell contained a number of bullets the keeper's office was riddled. Wife—Any fashion in that paper. Jack. Jack (who has just nettled a dress maker's bill)—Yes, but they're no use to you.

The city of Cleveland, Q., is buried under twenty-one inches of snow, its streets are filled with a tangled mass of broken and twisted wires and thousands upon thousands of its inhabitants are in imminent danger of suffering from lack of food. Three persons have been killed, ten are missing and are believed to have been frozen to death, and a great steamship is stranded on the beach, its captain and crew of twenty-two sailors waiting for the death that may come at any moment because of the mountainous snow rolling in from Lake Erie. It is still snowing, and unless the storm, which has continued since last Sunday, soon abates, no one can tell what the ultimate toll in dollars and lives may be. The loss is already estimated at $2,000,000, half of which will fall upon the telephone and telegraph companies. Normal conditions cannot be restored within a week, and if a thaw should come, followed by the involatile flood, the whole lake country will suffer severely. Conditions have been growing worse since Monday night, when half of the city was plunged into darkness, the lighting plant being blown down by the gale. At least one half of the street car service is out of commission, and no less than 300 trolley, telegraph and telephone plants within the city limits have been blown down. So complete was the paralysis of transportation facilities it was deemed best to let the dead lie in the places where they had died, and no funerals will be held until the storm is over. There has been no delivery of groceries, bread, milk or coal since Saturday, and the suffering in consequence cannot be definitely learned, but it is widespread. There is a sufficient supply of gas, and it is being used unparsimily in places fitted for it, that as many persons as possible may be benefited. One of the greatest fears is from fire. Already one fire has done $100,000 damage, and the difficulties encountered in subduing it were such as to cause the authorities the greatest ap prohension should another fire break out. Every possible precaution is being taken by the exhausted firemen and policemen. All the schools of the city are closed. The dance attendant upon the passing of children with the streets and the unusual conditions surrounding them in the school houses, many of which have been thrown open to the homeless, prompted the authorities to suspend classes until the blizzard has abated. The food shortage, felt Monday afternoon, has become more pronounced and threatening. There is no milk to be had at any price, except it be obtained in the name of suffering babies, and other food stockups are rapidly going to a premium where it is possible to find them. Many families were caught with little more than the food supply required to carry them over Sunday, and as there have been no shipments received since Saturday, the supply is rapidly being exhausted. VALUE OF CORN CROP BREAKS ALL RECORDS This year's corn crop promises to the most valuable crop that the United States or any other nation has ever produced, although the department of agriculture's preliminary estimate of production indicates it will be more than half a billion bushels less in size than the record crop of last year, and the smallest since 1903. Based on the department's figures of 70.7 cents per bushel, the average farm value on Nov. 4, the crop, as now estimated, is worth $1,741,352.01, while the value of the 1912 record crop was $1,520,454,000. The previous most valuable crop was that of 1908, when it was worth $1,652,322,000. Corn—Total production, 2,463,017, 000 bushels, compared with 3,124,746, 000 last year.

Just as far back into the past as memory will carry you or records reveal,—men of science have devoted their days and nights and years in the eager search for some element in the kingdom of minerals or drugs that would act on the kinky, crimpy, stubborn hair and make it straight. But up to the present time, no chemical power in the world of laboratories has produced a "discovery" that would bring about the much desired result. With nothing else than failures following in the footsteps of scientific research it behaved ingenuity to lend a helping hand—which it did—and the Electric Hair Straightening Comb is now the achievement of long careful study and skilled treatment. The "Queen" Comb is absolutely guaranteed to make the most unruly and obstinate hair, straight and silky in one treatment. This article is not in any sense a hoax, a deception, or a picture conflated from the imagination. It is a truth to which men and women in every town and city can testify. "Heller's Human Hair Store" of Washington, D.
